Chapter 49 Xingyiquan
In Xingyiquan, Monkeyquan stands out in many Chinese martial arts with its unique and flexible way. The body is as dexterous as a monkey, jumping and running.
Monkey boxing, the most prominent feature is flexibility.
And Dugu Liu played the monkey fist to the extreme. His body is really as flexible as a monkey. When Ye Xiao came into contact with Dugu Liu's boxing, he knew the special features of Dugu Liu monkey boxing. Not only his body was like a spirit monkey, his movements were dexterous, but also his strength was extremely strong.
Under the attack of Dugu Liu, Ye Xiao retreated one after another.
The strength is so strong that Ye Xiao doesn't dare to be sharp at all.
The footsteps of Qianyu, taekwondo, and the art of removing bones are connected to Dugu Liu's body.
At the beginning, Ye Xiao was attacked by the shallow language bone removal technique and knew the subtlety of the shallow language bone removal technique. The bone removal technique is a kind of capture. In close-range attacks, the bone removal technique is very powerful.
Ye Xiao is not like Qianyu. He has very high attainments in fighting skills in other countries. Ye Xiao is only good at Chinese martial arts. As for taekwondo and karate, he only knows little about it.
So, this is one of the reasons why Ye Xiao's attack power is not as strong.
"Let you see what is the real Xingyiquan." In Dugu Liu's sneer, Dugu Liu's boxing skills changed again.
Dugu Liu, who just used monkey boxing, changed his fist and turned into a horse. The horse-shaped boxing in the boxing boxing.
"The horse has the skill of galloping", the tiger tramples on the horse, the night horse breaks through the groove, the wild horse runs, the horse-shaped punches, the horse kicks the legs, the horse looks up, etc.
The most important thing about the horse-shaped boxing is its momentum. Practice horse-shaped boxing, and your body is like a steed galloping, moving forward bravely, and no one can stop it.
The horse-shaped Italian fist has a kind of momentum that can't be regarded.
Ye Xiao was shocked again. How deep is the attainment of Dugu Liu's bathing boxing? Combined with the chicken step just now, dragon-shaped, monkey-shaped, and now it is horse-shaped. Is it possible that Dugu Liu has finished learning the Xingyi boxing trap? Although Xingyiquan only belongs to one kind of boxing, it has many branches, such as five-elong boxing, and twelve-shaped boxing is the main boxing.
Therefore, Xingyiquan is not like a single boxing method such as Taijiquan and Baguazhang.
Xingyi boxing takes the five-eed boxing (spying, jumping, drilling, cannon, horizontal) and twelve-shaped boxing (dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, chicken, harrior, swallow, snake, tuo, chi, eagle, bear) as the basic boxing method, and its pile method is based on the three-body style. Some areas of Shanxi have "Dantian" and "six-in-one" as the basic pile method. Other single practice routines include five-element chain, miscellaneous hammer, eight-style boxing, four fists, twelve thumps, in and out of the hole, five elements, dragon and tiger fighting, eight-character skills, upper, middle and lower eight hands. There are three-handed cannons, five-flake cannons, set-in-fit guns, and nine sets of rings. The instrument practice is mainly based on knives, guns, swords and sticks, and is mostly named after three-in-one, six-in-one, serial, three talents, etc. The basic boxing is based on ten shapes (dragon, tiger, chicken, eagle, snake, horse, cat, monkey, harrior, swallow) and four punches and eight styles (head fist, pick collar, eagle capture, sticky hand). The pile method includes chicken leg piles and eagle and bear piles. Single practice routines include dragon and tiger fighting, ten-shaped integration, upper, middle and lower four, etc. In addition to the different technical content, the popular Xingyi boxing in various places also has its own characteristics in style. For example, the Xingyi boxing in Hebei area is stretched, stable and solid; the Xingyi boxing circulating in Shanxi is compact and powerful; the Xinyi boxing in Henan is brave and powerful.
Xingyiquan respects Yue Wumu as its ancestor, and its origin can be traced back to Jijike, Shanxi Province in the early Qing Dynasty. It is said that Ji Ji has studied art in Shaolin Temple, Henan Province, and is proficient in six-in-one shooting. Later, he got Yue Wumu's boxing score. Later, he took Yue Fei's boxing score as the theory, turned the big gun technique into boxing, and integrated the original intention to create this boxing. Jiji is divided into different factions such as Henan, Shanxi and Hebei, and is divided into different names, including Xinyi Liuhequan, Xinyiquan, Xingyiquan, etc.
The modern popular Xingyiquan was developed and named by Li Luoneng from Shanxi Dai's Xinyiquan in Shenzhou, Hebei Province.
Therefore, it is not difficult to practice a kind of boxing, but it is difficult to practice a variety of boxing or five elements boxing.
More importantly, Xingyiquan requires ten exercises.
Practice your head
The head is the master of the whole body, and all human behaviors are under the command of the mind. The head is the head of Liuyang, the five facial features are the bones, and the head is the general leader. Therefore, when practicing various routines of Xingyi boxing, you must make sure that the head should be up, the neck should be straight, and the chin should be slightly closed, so as to lead the whole body and coordinate the top and down, so that the breathing is natural, the two veins of Ren Du are unblocked, and the qi. This is not only conducive to the natural strength of the arm, but also conducive to the protection of the throat in case of accidents. Not only that, the head can also effectively protect the facial features of the face while changing the general skills, footwork and body skills.
Practice
The human body is dominated by the waist. No matter whether it goes in and out, swallows and excretes, and adjusts the arm sideways, it is coordinated by the waist. Body method, the method of body change. The requirements for the body method in Che's Xingyi boxing are: looking straight like oblique, looking oblique like straight, not leaning, not biased, moving one of the body, the abdomen with chest, round waist and round back, lifting the anus and buttocks, and the middle of the tail. There are twelve essentials of the body method, that is, vertical and horizontal, high and low, advance and backward, reverse side, swallowing, and avoidance. These twelve methods all have their specific meanings and requirements: if you let go of its momentum, it is as brave as a fierce tiger; if it is horizontal, it wraps its strength and opens up without obstruction; if it is high, it will raise its body, and picks the stars in nine days; if it is low, it will bend down and show its ability; if you take advantage of its gap, it will make a move. Without mercy; if you retreat, you will lead his anger, turn around and restrain your body; on the contrary, you will look after it, and the back will change to the front; if you swallow, you will adjust your arms, and take care of the left and right sides; if you swallow, your body will not retreat, and your chest and abdomen will be inward; if you spit, you will embrace; push with one hand; turn left and avoid the right, and avoid the gap of the gap.
Practice
The hand has the ability to turn around, and the two hands hit the whole body. It is the foundation of attack and defense, so there is a saying that "the hand is like a knife and a gun". In the boxing method of Xingyi boxing, in terms of hands, there are one-handed, two-handed, out-handed, hand-handed, starting, intercepted, and hand-care-handed. This is the "seven methods of the hand". What is one hand: "The front hand is like a harrot in the forest, the body is tied up with wings, and the back hand is like a swallow to take water, look at it over, hide and fall. This is also the method of one hand." What is two hands? The score says: "The two hands interact and rise and fall, rising like lifting a tripod, falling like spliting bricks, this is also the method of two hands." When the chest is straight out, it is called action. Those who rise but do not fall are called carrying hands. The tendons and hair, there are ups and downs, bending rather than bending, straight rather than straight, is called starting. It is said that the hand is cut off when it goes up and down. Those who do not have tendons and do not rise but do not fall are called caring for the hand. You must not know the seven methods of this hand.
Practice
Step, that is, footwork, that is, the kung fu on the legs and feet. Step is the foundation of the body and the hub of sports. Fist
As the saying goes: the heart is the commander (the heart is the brain), the eyes are the first, the legs are the war horse, and the hands are the blades. Regardless of attack and defense, it depends on the power of the legs and feet. The score said, "If you don't go to the hands, you won't be the owner, and if you don't go to the feet, you won't be rootless." As a master, it is in the shape of a step." It shows the importance of footwork.
Practice
In the boxing method of Che's Xingyi boxing, the end of the blood, flesh, tendon and bone of the human body is called the top, which is generally called the "four tops". The hair is the top of blood, the tongue is the top of the flesh, the nail is the top of the tendon, and the teeth are the top of the bone. With the strength of the four, people can change their normal state. As the saying goes, anger rushes to the crown, and the tiger's beard is upside down, which refers to the external performance of people under extreme anger, and in boxing, it pays more attention to the trembling of the heart and the inner strength. The opening and closing of pores can make the blood circulation smooth and full of strength. The upper jaw on the tongue can make the fluid full but not float, and the mouth is not dry. Fingers and toe buckles can make the air infused into the tendons and the four feet are powerful. The teeth can make the spirit penetrate the bones, while the body is strong. Therefore, when doing the work, you should have the desire to rush the crown, the tongue to urge the teeth, the armor wants to penetrate the bone, the teeth want to break the tendons, the power to push the mountains and the seas, the momentum to swallow the tiger, the four tops are one, the energy cohesion is solid, the lower plate is stable, and the brave publicity, which makes the enemy afraid. The importance of the four tops can be seen from this.
Practice
Essence refers to the high-level life-sustaining substance in the human body - essence-liquid. China's traditional Chinese medicine theory and martial arts masters of all dynasties believe: "The essence, qi and god are the three treasures of man. Essence is the source of life, qi is the place to nourish God, and God is the master of life. If the essence is full, the spirit will be full, the spirit will be full, and the spirit will be full of masculinity; if the essence is withered, the qi will be exhausted; if the qi is exhausted, the spirit will be empty; if there is no god, the life will rest. It can be seen that if there is essence in life, life will be born, and if there is no essence, it will die, which fully illustrates the important role of essence in maintaining life. Essence is difficult to make and easy to consume, and there are very few people who know that it is a treasure but cherish it. Therefore, the predecessors of the Che family warned the people: "We should be abstined to protect and nourish the essence." The ancient spectrum of Xingyi says, "If you nourish the root and nourish the spirit, if Yuanyang doesn't go true, Dantian will be a long-lived treasure, and ten thousand taels of gold will not be with people." If you want to practice the true power of form and meaning, you must restrain your sexual desire. If your sexual desire is not enough, you will inevitably lose your vitality, your body will be weak, your resistance will decline, and you will be prone to diseases. This will lose the basic conditions of "practicing essence and qi, practicing qi, and practicing your spirit is still virtual". If you want to achieve superior kung fu, it is out of reach.
Practice
means the thinking process of the human brain. The boxing spectrum says: "The meaning of the heart (referring to the brain) is what it means." The brain is the center of the nervous system, which directs all human activities, and martial arts is no exception. The role of the boxing method of Xingyiquan can be divided into three aspects: the intention to start, lead the spirit with the intention, and the appearance of the form with the intention.
Practice
Qi is the foundation of life. People live a breath. If they have qi, they will survive. If they don't have qi, they will die. Qi is the source of power, and if there is no gas, it is powerless. Qi can be divided into internal qi and external qi. The practice of form and meaning should pay attention to nourishing qi and practicing qi. The so-called nourishing qi means that under the guidance of the mind, the qi of the whole body is condensed in Dantian. Long-term nourishing qi can make the vitality full and vigorous. The so-called practice of qi means that under the guidance of mind, qi comes out from Dantian, through the four tops, reaches the whole body, condenses in the ribs, rushes to the top of the brain, swings up and down, opens and closes left and right, has sufficient strength, and then is a stunt. The so-called internal qi refers to the qi of the lungs and the meridian in the human body. The so-called external qi refers to the qi of breathing. Only when the external qi is constantly supplied and replenished can the internal qi be continuously operated and exerted, that is, what we often talk about, such a cycle, so that it is infinite, can give full play to the potential of the human body, strengthen the body, and prolong life. Xingyiquan takes breathing as the work, and the operation is the effect. The operation of the internal qi drives the change of the external qi, that is, the direction of the qi follows; as soon as the qi moves, the force is the trend. Reverse abdominal breathing is the method of luck of Xingyiquan, relaxation and calmness is the foundation of practice, and the small Sunday luck method is the ladder to enter the high level. Breathe when you step, so that you can breathe all over your body; when you move, breathe, so that your strength is combined. If you go in, you will exhale, if you retreat, you will inhale, if you open, you will exhale, exhale from Dantian, inhalation returns to Dantian, internal and external qi, circulation, continuous, the air transportation around the body, strength reaches the limbs, internal and exterior, kung fu can reach the best.
Practice
The power of the human body is divided into internal force and external force. The source of force is qi. The boxing spectrum says: "The inner qi is self-important, and the form is submissive." The boxing method of Xingyiquan is exquisite, and the practice should follow the rules of "three sections" and "six-in-one". Take the three-body momentum pile as an example. As soon as the momentum is pricked and the hand comes out, you must start from the root, follow the middle section, reach the top joint, the three sections are smooth, and the joints are urged, that is, the shoulder urges the elbow, the elbow urges the hand, and the strength reaches the fist palm. The method of strength of legs and feet is also the same principle, starting from the root joint, following the middle section, and reaching the peripheral joint. That is, the crotch urges the knees, the knees urge the feet, and the strength reaches the soles of the feet. It must be borne in mind that no matter when and where, the practice should be led by intention, with qi, form and smooth, up and down, and internal and outside. With such practice, over time, you can achieve that you are not full of strength, no strength but spontaneousness, and infinite strength.
Practice
The so-called kung fu refers to kung fu. If you practice boxing without practicing kung fu, it will be empty. Three-body pile skills, all kinds of single practice and practice routines, are all basic skills, and you should often practice and experience them carefully. In particular, loose hands (Taigu is called tearing), which is also a specific test of real kung fu. In his youth, Mr. Sun Deyi, a famous figure of scattered hand, in order to improve his skills, he often took the trouble to find a senior who had excellent kung fu, spent money to buy a fight, and absorbed nutrition from it to enrich himself. Especially after entering middle age, he has to go to Master Bu Xuekuan's family to learn loose-hand skills almost every day. He has to practice one technique hundreds of times and thousands of times until he is proficient and proficient in using it. This is one of the important reasons why he has become a famous figure and touchstone. In order to get the true skill of form and meaning, you must be clear in three sections, four knots, talk about yin and yang, and understand and avoid. Hard work pays off. As long as you are diligent in thinking, perseverance, and willing to endure hardships, you can achieve the superb state of "fist without fist, intention unintentional, no fist unintentional is the true intention; the enemy attack comes as I want, and serving people with art is true art".
This is the ten exercises in Xingyiquan.
Xingyi boxing, you must first practice these ten well before you can exert the power of the invisible boxing and the twelve-shaped boxing.
Judging from Dugu Liu's performance, whether it is the twelve-shaped boxing or these ten exercises, he is extremely depressed.
